Downloading to Kindle

Currently, you can't download files from Distribly directly to your Kindle, though it is likely to be available in the near future. In the meantime, you can use files from Distribly on your Kindle, by transferring them from your computer to the Kindle with the USB charging cable that came with your Kindle.

Most newer Kindles support HTML and PDF files natively, while some older versions don't. Make sure your Kindle supports the file types that you want to use before transferring.

Transferring files to your Kindle

Plug your Kindle into your computer using the USB cable. Your Kindle should appear under "My computer", or on your desktop, depending on which operating system you use.

To transfer the files, copy them from your computer and paste into the appropriate folder on your Kindle; for example: put documents into the "documents" folder, and music into the "music" folder.

Eject your Kindle before unplugging the USB cable, you should now be able to use your files.
